Panela - Lowell

This restaurant is consistently the best in Lowell. For lunch, the price per person is around $20–30. The food, service, and atmosphere all receive a perfect rating of 5. I highly recommend trying the Bandeja Paisa, Buñuelo Donuts, Avocado Arepa, La Hamburguesa, Arepa with Pork Belly and Quesito, Sweet Plantain, Avocados, and the Chicken Sandwich.

**Dietary restrictions:** More than half the menu was gluten-free, which was great for me. **Service:** Dine-in **Meal type:** Dinner **Price per person:** $20–30 **Food:** 5 **Service:** 5 **Atmosphere:** 4

My cousin and I had the empanadas with spicy sauce. Chicharrón -pork belly appetizer, mango salad with grilled chicken, red beans with rice, sweet plantain, grilled chicken. The food was to die for absolutely delicious. Sarah the waitress excellent. She said they have salsa dance classes on Thursday, multilingual karaoke Friday’s, DJ to dance on Saturdays. Definitely going back. Parking on the street. I didn’t have a problem but went there for an early dinner.
